Fred Lamberson (born 1949) was a touring saxophonist until 1982 when he returned back to his native California and started creating mouthpieces. His mouthpieces are made in small numbers and on special order only, and are available in hard rubber, wood (African blackwood), and acetal (white nylon). At a rate of about 25 mouthpieces per month, there are less than about 2,000 mouthpieces in circulation according to Fred Lamberson’s estimates. Each of the mouthpieces is based on own blanks and then hand finished.
